THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



P. de Cerons Hdtif. — A climbing and rather early kind, resembling 

 the Early Emperor in its earliness, and the Early Frame Pea in its 

 vigorous growth and great productiveness. 



P. de Commenchon. — This is a good early Pea, coming in several 

 days before the Early Emperor, but still not so early as Sangster's 

 No. I. It has rather large leaves and broad pods, which latter are 

 as often solitary as in pairs. The peas are smooth, white, and large. 



P. Domine. — A sub-variety of the Early Frame Pea, later and 

 more productive than the ordinary form. It has now almost 

 entirely gone out of cultivation. 



P, Dore. — A climbing variety, coming in nearly at the same 

 time as the White Scimitar Pea. Leaves large and very light 

 coloured ; flowers white ; pods in pairs, long and narrow, and 

 yellow-green in colour, as are also the peas. 



P. Feve. — In its habit of growth this variety rather resembles 

 the Marly Pea and its allies, but is distinguished from them by the 

 shape of its peas, which are somewhat oblong and are marked with 

 a black spot on the hilimi. 



P. Geant. — A large late Pea, with a very tall stem. Flowers 

 violet-coloured ; pods large, in pairs ; peas square in shape, grayish 

 in colour, or slightly speckled with black ; hilum black. 



P. le Plus Hdtif Bijiore, de Gendbrugge, — An early kind, coming 

 very near the Early Emperor, from which it is distinguished by 

 being a little earlier and not quite so vigorous in growth. 



P. Gros Jaune. — A very distinct variety, of a very light, almost 

 yellowish, green colour in all its parts ; often one-flowered. The 

 pods and peas resemble those of the Pois Carre Blanc. 



P. Gros Quarantain de Cahors. — This is a climbing variety, 

 coming very near the Marly Pea, but a little earlier. The peas are 

 white and large. 



P. de Lorraine. — This is more a cattle-feeding than a kitchen- 

 garden Pea. It is very late, and has very small pods. 



P, de Madere. — A climbing kind, rather like the Marly Pea in 

 its habit of growth, but distinguished from it by its peas having 

 a black spot on the hilum. It differs from the Pois Feve in the 

 whiteness and well-rounded form of the peas. 



P, Michaux d CEil Noir (Black-eye Pea). — This variety is very 

 distinctly characterised by the black spot on the hilum of the pea. 

 It comes in about the same time as the Ruelle Michaux Pea, is 

 productive, and is said to succeed very well in warm climates. 



P. Michaux de Nanterre. — This is a sub-variety of the Early 

 Frame Pea, a little later than the ordinary form, but not quite so 

 late as the Pois Domine mentioned above. 



P, Michemolette. — A climbing, half-late kind, with large, long 

 pods, but only moderately productive. It comes very close to the 

 Pois de Gouvigny.
